ROXBURY — A man drove drunk with his 5-year-old daughter and 8-year-old son, according to police Spokeswoman Jennifer Dillard.

Cpl. Tom Vanhouten and officers Devin Kellar and Eric Weaver responded to St. Therese School in Succasunna on a welfare check of a man driving a blue 2005 Subaru, Dillard said.

They found a car matching the description driving west on Main Street in Succasunna, she said. While trying to pull over the car, they watched the driver swerve out of his lane and fail to use his signals, Dillard said.

Once the vehicle stopped, Vanhouten and Weaver approached the driver — 55-year-old Rymond Lind from Byram, according to the spokeswoman. His children were in the car, the officers smelled an alcoholic beverage and Lind appeared intoxicated, Dillard said.

After failing field sobriety tests, he was arrested and taken to the Roxbury Police Department, where he failed a breath test, Dillard said.

Lind was charged with endangering the welfare of a child, driving while intoxicated, obstruction, reckless driving, failure to maintain a lane and failure to use signals, according to Dillard.

The children were turned over to their mother, and police contacted the state Division of Children Protection and Permanency, Dillard said.

Lind was later given a court date and released on his own recognizance, the spokeswoman said.
